CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a continuation patent application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/953,305 filed on Nov. 23, 2010, the complete disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirely.

BACKGROUND

1. Field of Invention

The present invention generally relates to webpage creation and more particularly to a tool for customizing logos on a webpage.

2. Related Art

Online transactions are becoming more and more prevalent, with an ever-increasing number of online merchants and online payment mechanisms. The increase is due partly to the ease of making a purchase online instead of physically at a store. An online merchant may offer a user or consumer various options for payment, which gives the consumer more flexibility to choose a desired funding source, as well as giving the merchant a better chance that one of the offered funding sources will be acceptable by the consumer. Thus, typically, an online merchant provides the consumer with multiple funding sources.

These funding sources may include different types of credit cards, e.g., Visa, American Express, or MasterCard, bank payments, or different payment providers, such as PayPal, Inc. of San Jose, CA. The funding sources are typically placed on the merchant website, so that the consumer can easily identify the available funding sources. Ease of identification is due, in part, to distinctive looks of the various funding sources.

However, because of these different looks, a collection of the available funding sources may not be aesthetically pleasing or complement the look of the merchant site.

In addition, the merchant may offer its products or services throughout the world, with specific products/services for specific geographic locations. As a result, funding sources may not be the same between different regions. For example, a payment source common in Mexico may not be available for use in Germany. Thus, the merchant would want to offer that funding source to customers in Mexico, but not to customers in Germany.

The above may require the merchant to create specific graphics and/or templates to present funding sources that the merchant wants. This can be time-consuming, tedious, and costly. As a result, a merchant may decide to forego one or more possible funding sources.

Thus, it is desirable to provide a tool for online merchants to quickly and easily create a funding source portion on their web site that overcomes the above disadvantages.

SUMMARY

According to one embodiment, an online merchant accesses a page of a payment provider, customizes funding sources and designs, and copies and pastes the code to the merchant page to quickly and easily create a customized funding source graphic.

In one embodiment, the merchant first accesses the appropriate page on a payment provider site. The merchant then sees one or more different formats for displaying the payment options. The different formats can be the same for each merchant, i.e., standardized formats, or the formats can be merchant specific, such as the payment provider using a screen scrape or other means to determine the size, colors, etc. of the merchant site, as well as the size, location, colors, etc. of the payment options portion of the merchant site.

The merchant selects the desired format and can then begin to customize the display. Next, the merchant is able to see possible funding sources, such as in logo format. Desired funding sources can then be selected, such as a simple drag and drop into a field or box. The order or placement of the funding sources within the box can also be selected by the merchant. Additional information about the funding sources can be seen, such as by moving a mouse over a particular funding source. This additional information may include what countries the funding source is available for use.

Once the desired funding sources are selected, the merchant can choose a desired color scheme. This can be done in different ways. For example, the merchant can select a desired color palette or color scheme first, which shows the selected color palette on the screen. The merchant can then move a mouse or selector within the color palette to select the desired color for the funding source display.

The merchant may preview the display on the merchant site if desired. If so, the merchant can enter the website address into a field and submit the address, which recreates the merchant webpage, but with the payment option display on the webpage. The merchant can then drag the display anywhere on the merchant page. If the merchant wants to change the color scheme, this can be done directly on the page. Once satisfied, the merchant is directed back to a page showing code (e.g., HTML) for the payment display.

The merchant can copy and paste the code onto the merchant site to quickly and easily display the customized display. If the merchant does not need to see the display on the merchant page, the merchant can go directly to the code page to copy and paste.

As a result, the merchant can quickly and easily create any number of different displays, both in color, style, and payment options, for use on different pages of a merchant site.

These and other features and advantages of the present disclosure will be more readily apparent from the detailed description of the embodiments set forth below taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

It should be appreciated that like reference numerals are used to identify like elements illustrated in one or more of the figures, wherein showings therein are for purposes of illustrating embodiments of the present disclosure and not for purposes of limiting the same.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 shows a flowchart 100 for a merchant to create a customized display through an online site, according to one embodiment. In one example, the online site is managed by a payment provider, such as PayPal, Inc. of San Jose, Calif. At step 102, a merchant or user desiring to create a display accesses the online site. This can be through a device, such as a PC, laptop, iPad from Apple, or other computing/communication device. Communication can be through the Internet using various protocols. Once on the site, the merchant can see one or more different formats for displaying payment options or funding sources.

In one example, one format is a single row of funding sources, another format is single column of funding sources, and a third format is two columns of funding sources. The merchant may be presented with only one format or many different ones. In one embodiment, the same standard formats are presented to all merchants or users. In another embodiment, the formats are still standard, but differ depending on characteristics of the merchant, such as size, status with the payment provider, etc.

In still another embodiment, the format types presented may be merchant specific. For example, the payment provider may scrape information about the merchant site from the Internet or obtain information about the merchant site by other means. Such information may include the size, colors, etc. of the merchant site, as well as the size, location, colors, etc. of the payment options portion of the merchant site. Using this information, the payment provider can present options that better fit the look and feel of the specific merchant site.

Next, at step 104, the merchant selects the desired format from the presented options. This can be accomplished by clicking or selected a link or button associated with the desired format. The selection is conveyed to the payment provider, who then provides the merchant with a screen to select specific funding sources or payment options. In one embodiment, the types of funding sources are independent of the merchant. In another embodiment, the funding sources are dependent, such as the size of the merchant, the country of origin of the merchant, etc. Examples of funding sources include, but are not limited to, different credit cards, debit cards, and payment providers. More specific examples include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, BillMeLater, Switch, Maestro, DirectDebit, 3V, and 4etoiles. The funding sources may be shown in logo format or other representations, which may make it easier for the merchant to see the different funding sources because these may have very distinctive and well-recognized looks.

In addition, the merchant may want additional information about the various funding sources. This can also be provided using the tool. For example, if the merchant moves a mouse or other means over a specific funding source, information about the funding source appears, such as countries in which the funding source is accepted. Other information may include the percentage of people having or using the funding source in each country. For even more specific information, the merchant may be provided with usage information of the funding source for purchases made with this particular merchant. Such information may allow the merchant to better select which funding sources to select as payment options for the merchant's site.

At step 106, the merchant selects the desired funding sources. In one embodiment, the merchant drags and drops desired funding sources into a field or box. In another embodiment, the merchant clicks, taps, or double-clicks on a funding source, which places that funding source into a field or box. The box may be the same shape for all format, such as a generic rectangular box, or the box may be based on the selected format. For example, if the selected format is a square or circular shaped grouping of funding options, the box may be square or circular shaped. The merchant may also determine the priority or order given to the funding options, such that the funding sources are shown in the order selected or the user can place the funding sources in specific positions relative to other selected funding sources. The merchant may also be given the option of changing the selected funding sources, such as making one larger or smaller than others.

Once the desired funding sources are selected, the merchant continues to step 108, where the merchant chooses a desired color scheme for the display. The selected funding sources and the selected format can be shown at this step. The default display may be white or another color, independent of the merchant In another embodiment, the default color scheme for the display may be particular to the merchant, such as based on information about the merchant site. If the merchant wants the default color, the merchant may move to the next step. However, if the merchant wants to change the default or otherwise customize the color scheme, the merchant can easily do this on the page.

In one embodiment, the merchant is presented with one or more color palettes. For example, one color palette may show the spectrum of colors available. The merchant can then select a range of colors, e.g., more blue, more orange, more green, etc. This can be done by selecting the desired portion of the first color palette, such as with a slide tool or by clicking on an area. The selected color region may then be expanded into a second color palette that gives the merchant the opportunity to further refine the color scheme. This can be done by moving a mouse or other selector to a desired portion within this second color palette. Wherever the selection means is placed, the color changes, so that the merchant can see how each color looks with the previously selected format and funding sources. The selected color may be displayed over the entire display or in some other design. The merchant may also select different color schemes for different portions of the display.

Next, at step 110, the merchant determines whether to proceed with creating the display or previewing the display on the merchant site. If the latter, the merchant selects that option, which presents the merchant with appropriate instructions if needed. In one embodiment, the merchant is asked to enter and submit a URL address of the merchant website. If the payment provider already knows the merchant website address, this step may be omitted.

The merchant website is then displayed for the merchant, at step 112, along with the just-created display or graphic. In one embodiment, the merchant may move the graphic throughout the web page. This enables the merchant to better visualize how the display will look on the site.

A determination is then made at step 114 whether the display is acceptable. For example, the merchant, after seeing the color scheme on the actual site, may want to change the color scheme of the display and/or select a different display format for the payment options. If so, the merchant may revise the display, such as on the merchant page. This can be done in any number of ways. In one embodiment, the merchant double-clicks on the display, which then displays to the user editing tools. The editing tools can be the color palette as shown previously, sizing tools, and/or available formats.

The merchant then revises the display at step 116. Once completed and acceptable, the merchant is presented with code for creating the display or graphic, such as in HTML code. The merchant may still be given the option of revising the display, which the merchant may see on this page.

The merchant can then copy the code at step 118 and paste the code into the merchant's website code at step 120. Thus, the merchant can quickly and easily create and display the customized display on the website. The payment provider offering this tool can have its logo as part of the display, such that the payment provider is assured a certain branding on the merchant site.

FIGS. 2A to 2I are exemplary screen shots a user or merchant may see during a process for creating a customized display or graphic.

FIG. 2A shows two format types for the merchant to select from, a single line display 202 and a two column display 204. This page is shown when the merchant first access the provider page, here PayPal, Inc., for creating the display (or logo as designated in this example). Funding sources shown on this page are simply examples to give the merchant a better visual representation of what the formats may end up looking like. In this example, the merchant selects two column display 204 by selecting a customize button 206 associated with two column display 204.

The merchant is then presented with the screenshot of FIG. 2B, although without any funding sources in a box 208. Initially, only available funding sources are shown in a box 210. As seen, the funding sources are shown as logos. Not shown is that the merchant can move a mouse over a specific funding source to show additional information about that funding source, such as countries available for use. Desired funding sources are then moved into box 208, such as dragging and dropping specific funding sources into box 208. As shown, four funding sources are selected and in a specific order, with Visa first, PayPal second, American Express third, and Maestro fourth. The merchant may also re-order the selected funding sources within box 208 or move funding sources back to box 210 to de-select that source.

Once the merchant is satisfied with the funding sources, the merchant selects the continue button to proceed to the next step, shown in FIG. 2C. FIG. 2C allows the merchant to choose a desired color scheme. FIG. 2C shows the a sample current display 212, with the selected four payment sources and a color background. Below sample current display 212 is a color palette 214. Color palette 212 includes a vertical color bar 216. The merchant can move arrows 218 along color bar 216 to select a color range. The color range indicated by arrows 218 is shown in a display 220. Within display 220, the merchant can select a more specific color within the color range, such as moving a selector 222. The selected color is shown as the color background in sample current display 212. Thus, the merchant can see various colors on display 212 as the merchant moves along color bar 216 or display 220.

Once the merchant has decided on a particular color, the merchant may preview the display on the merchant site or go ahead and create the display. For the former, the merchant selects a site preview button 224, and for the latter, the merchant selects a create graphic button 226.

FIGS. 2D-2H are exemplary screenshots when the merchant selects site preview button 224, according to one embodiment. In FIG. 2D, the merchant can enter the URL address in a field 228 for the merchant website or other website in which the display is to be shown. After the merchant types in the address, the merchant submits the request, such as by selecting a submit button 230.

The merchant then sees the entered webpage, along with sample current display 212, as shown in FIG. 2E. The merchant can then move display 212 to different areas of the webpage, such as by dragging and dropping display 212. This will allow the merchant to see the display in a realistic context. FIG. 2F shows display 212 moved into the body of the website.

Once display 212 is moved into a desired position, the merchant can change the color scheme on the site. FIG. 2G shows color palette 214 overlayed on the website, such as when the merchant double-clicks on display 212 or other means. The merchant can then change the color using the color palette, where each time either arrows 218 or selector 222 is moved, the color in display 212 is changed. Other means may also be suitable to change the color. For example, an “eyedropper” type tool can be used to select a color directly from the webpage and to use that selected color in the display. This allows the merchant to select the exact color desired from the webpage instead of trying to match a color from a color palette.

FIG. 2H shows the website with a new color scheme for display 212. Color palette has been removed, such as by clicking on display 212. If the merchant is satisfied with the created display, the merchant may select a “save and create” button 232 or other similar type button or link.

This takes the merchant to a screen shown in FIG. 2I. FIG. 2I may also be seen when the merchant selects create graphic button 226 from FIG. 2C. In FIG. 2I, display 212 is shown, along with a code listing 234. Code listing 232 is shown in HTML code, but other code formats may also be suitable. The merchant can simply copy and paste code listing 234 to create display 212 on the merchant site. This page also allows the merchant to edit colors or create another display, such as for use in a different country, by selecting appropriate buttons 236 and 238, respectively.
